Come on. Come on.

You hear that?

Huh?

Come on.

You can do it.

Yep.

Morning.

Morning, gunny.

Any dui's last night?

No, gunny!

Good.

It's gonna be

a good day.

We gon' train

harder than ever before.

Walters, what was you

doing last night?

Playing halo, gunny.

That's what you do all the time?

You shipping out in three weeks.

You better be ready to fight

when it's time to fight.

-Mason.

-Yes, gunny.

Are you still

a virgin?

No, gunny.

You sure about that?

'Cause you look like one.

Bennet, did you talk

to your wife last night?

No, gunny.

You think I give a damn?

Coletta, you wipe

that smile off your face.

Yes, gunny.

Now, on a serious note,

i have somebody that

just came back from Iraq.

He wants to talk to y'all

about the experience,

so you'll know what it is.

He's been where you're going,

and the things that he tells you

will save lives

and save limbs.

This is sergeant Andrew Dean.

Sergeant, take the floor.

Thank you, gunny.

- Morning.

- Morning, sergeant!

Are you ready for war?

Yes, sergeant!

Everything

you've prepared for,

every lesson

you've learnt,

everything

you think you know

will just go to sh*t

the moment

you're in country.

These homemade bombs

are full of crap that our dogs

have never sniffed.

You get caught in a sandstorm,

the dogs will be confused,

and they won't be able

to detect the odor cones.

You're about to be

running through

sh*t's creek.

Literally.

With 50 pounds on your back,

a dog on a leash,

trying not to smack his head in

with your rifle.

And the grunts

that you're protecting,

well, they'll

pretty much hate you

from day one.

Do this job right,

you might save lives.

Do it wrong,

and you'll wind up dead.

And no matter how bad

I'm making it sound,

I'm not even coming close.

You need to

keep 'em calm.

It's all right.

It's okay.

- Lie down.

- That's looking good.

Rex, lie down.

- Down.

- That's looking good.

Just pull so there are

no wrinkles in the gauze.

You need to

practice all of this

before you deploy.

Okay, let's take off

the leashes.

Here we go.

Rex, no. No.

-You having a problem

over there?

-No. I got this.

Good boy.

I said take off the leash.

Come on, buddy.

Just relax.

Good boy. Just relax.

You need to muzzle

that dog now.

Bad dog!

Sh*t.

It's gonna happen

when it happens.

Gunny, I'm telling you,

it's gonna heal in no time.

He broke six bones, Walters.

You wanted to see me,

gunny?

-You're getting a dog.

-What?

-You're giving her my dog.

-Wait.

He's not your dog.

He's not my dog.

He's a marine corps dog.

Rex needs

an experienced handler.

Are you

questioning my authority,

Lance corporal?

She's a boot.
